Richardson and Walker-Miller named 2023 MMSDC Hall of Fame Legends

In October, the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council (MMSDC) named four trailblazers including Leon C. Richardson and Carla Walker-Miller as 2023 Michigan Minority Hall of Fame Legends.

The Hall of Fame was created to ensure that iconic Michiganders are celebrated for the transformational impact they've made on Michigan's minority business growth, the indelible imprint they've made on minority businesses that are driving the state's economy while empowering communities that are often left behind.

Richardson is Founder, President and CEO of The Chemico Group, the 34-year-old largest minorityowned, veteran-owned chemical management and distribution company in the U.S. A passionate champion for MBE development, Richardson serves as a National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Board member and oversaw expansion initiatives for 1,200 MBEs in the state while he chaired MMSDC's Minority Business Input Committee.

Walker-Miller is Founder and CEO of Walker-Miller Energy Services, a 22-year-old values driven, B Corp certified company that changes lives through energy. Her high-performing firm's efforts in energy efficiency and clean energy help decrease the energy burdens on local families and businesses, create sustainable jobs, diversify local energy workforces, and position small business owners to become sustainable suppliers in the clean energy economy. Walker-Miller is also a Chemico Group Board member.
